Hi all...I've made 4 batches of CP soap and, for two of them, I used some EOs I had lying around the house for DIY cleaning supplies. They came out nice (cedarwood and lemon...pine and orange), but I recently ordered a bunch of new EOs from Bulk Apothecary. I chose oils that I thought I would like on their own...but just realized I didn't really think about how they would work as blends.
Once the order arrives (scheduled for today!), here's what I will have on hand:
Lemon
Orange
Pink grapefruit
Litsea
Scotch pine
Cedarwood
Rosewood
Cypress
Peppermint
Tea Tree
I could potentially pick up additional EOs locally (there's a great place jsut down the street that has all sorts of dried herbs, teas, EOs. etc.), though they are on the expensive side. My wife doesn't care for some commonly-used scents like lavender or patchouli.
I'd like to make a few shampoo bars, as well as some more "all purpose" shower bars.
Any thoughts about blends I should try? Thanks in advance for any input.
Cheers-
Jim
